Chapter 20 A Palace Maid Who Looks Down on People...

After thanking Niannian, a resolute look flashed across Pei Yunjing's face. He immediately summoned a eunuch, whispered a few instructions, and told him to quickly inform his mother, Consort De.

The eunuch accepted the order and left, while Pei Yunjing waited quietly to the side, as if time had frozen at that moment.

About half a cup of tea's time later, there was a sudden knock at the door. The sound was neither hurried nor slow, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

A knock on the door broke the silence inside.

"Jing'er, it's your mother..." The gentle and familiar voice of Consort De came from outside the door. Pei Yun Jing immediately got up and walked to the door.

With a creak, Pei Yunjing quickly opened the door, his movements practiced and nimble. He pulled Consort De into the room and then swiftly closed the door, all in one smooth motion.

Consort De glanced at the room in surprise, speechless with shock at the sight before her.

!!!

What... what is all this?

Her gaze swept over the neatly stacked rows of skincare sets, and she couldn't help but ask, "Jing'er, did your friend send these over?"

The palace was heavily guarded, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, making it virtually impregnable.

However, despite such tight security, someone managed to deliver so many items without anyone noticing!

This was something she simply couldn't imagine.

Pei Yunjing spoke leisurely and confidently, "Yes, Mother..." His tone was calm and confident, as if everything was under his control.

Consort De frowned, her face full of doubt, and asked, "But... how exactly did he manage to get these things into the palace?"

Pei Yunjing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and he answered directly, "Mother, you will naturally know in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Consort De, though still harboring doubts, decided not to press the matter further.

So she instructed Yunshang outside the door to spread the word: "In one hour, skincare products will be delivered to the vicinity of Shanghe Palace. The concubines will be waiting to come and collect them..."

At the same time, Consort De also got up and sat in a sedan chair, taking Pei Yunjing with her, and tightly holding two boxes of precious skincare products in her arms, and hurriedly headed towards Fengyi Palace.

Along the way, she leaned close to Pei Yunjing's ear and whispered something.

When they arrived at the entrance of Fengyi Palace, they were blocked by a group of palace maids. One of the maids glanced at Consort De with disdain and said arrogantly:

"Her Majesty the Empress said that no one may enter the palace without her permission..."

Consort De was so angry upon hearing this that her face turned pale, but she couldn't retaliate.

She knew perfectly well that the reason these palace maids dared to be so arrogant and domineering in front of her was entirely because they had the Empress backing them up.

This is what they mean by "even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner."

However, Consort De was not blinded by anger. Instead, she took a deep breath, suppressed her rage, and calmed herself down.

She composed herself and said in a gentle voice, "Please tell the Empress that Consort De has brought a precious skincare set and hopes to present it to her personally..."

After she finished speaking, Pei Yunjing, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and showed the exquisite skincare set in front of everyone.

The palace maids' eyes lit up when they saw the novel gift set, and their attitude immediately changed. Their previously arrogant and domineering faces were instantly replaced by fawning smiles;

"I've long heard that Consort De has obtained a treasure; so this is it..."

They exchanged glances, secretly relieved that they hadn't offended Consort De, hoping they might be able to obtain this treasure from her in the future.

The palace maids warmly invited Consort De and Pei Yunjing into the palace...

At the same time, the Empress's voice rang out in the hall, carrying a hint of teasing and a satisfied smile:

"My sister Consort De is quick indeed! She managed to send me such fine items in just a few days!"

Amid her teasing, Consort De and Pei Yunjing were led by two palace maids through layers of beaded curtains and into the inner chamber of Fengyi Palace.

At this moment, the Empress was sitting on the phoenix throne, with a huge peony painting behind her, surrounded by palace maids in uniform and eunuchs with serious expressions.

A hint of curiosity and anticipation flickered in her eyes...

Consort De walked lightly forward, bowed slightly, her posture elegant and respectful. She handed a beautiful skincare set to the Empress, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, this is something I prepared especially for you. I hope it will bring you some joy and relieve the worries caused by the trivial matters in the palace."

The Empress took the skincare set and gently opened it. Instantly, a delicate fragrance filled the air, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She picked up a delicate box of face cream, twisted it open, and gently sniffed it. The fragrance seemed to carry the morning dew of the mountains, making her feel refreshed and relaxed.

!!!

Could this transparent jar be made of glass?

------

Fast forward to the modern era, the Fu family...

Niannian lay limply on the edge of the bed like a lazy little cat, swinging her short legs back and forth, panting heavily.

oops……

She had just been moving boxes for a long time and was exhausted.

However, a hint of doubt seemed to flash through her round little head. Hmm, I think I forgot something very important.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something, and sat up straight with a "whoosh," her big round eyes wide open and her little mouth forming a big "O" shape.

Oh dear, she completely forgot about that big bad guy at Dad's company! I wonder if Dad caught him yet...

Niannian quickly reached out and pulled open the bedside table drawer, carefully took out her phone, and gently swiped with her chubby little finger to light up the screen.

Then, she poked her father's name in the contacts with her little hand and dialed the number.

"beep……"

Jian Xiaohan's deep, magnetic voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Niannian, what's wrong? Why are you calling your dad all of a sudden? Is something the matter?"

At this moment, Jian Xiaohan was wearing Bluetooth headphones, his hands flying across the keyboard, his eyes glued to the data on the computer screen, not daring to relax for a moment.

Niannian blinked her big, watery eyes and asked in her childish voice, "Daddy? Did they catch the bad guy?"

Upon hearing his daughter's question, Jian Xiaohan involuntarily slowed down his movements, and his eyes became somewhat complicated.

In fact, Lao Shen did not find any clues. Everything about Zhang Jing seemed normal, and there was nothing wrong with him.

This made Jian Xiaohan begin to wonder if Niannian had fallen asleep from exhaustion at the amusement park and had a nightmare, which caused her to confuse the dream with reality?

He said in a deep voice, "Niannian, are you mistaken? Uncle Zhang Jing isn't a bad guy!"

……

Niannian pouted, "No mistake!" She wasn't a three or four-year-old anymore; how could she be wrong? "Any difficulty can defeat me, hehe~ It feels so comfortable lying down..."
